Please sign petition to free jailed reporter

Hi all,

Please read the following email below from Amnesty International USA and consider signing the petition at this link:

https://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/site/c.jhKPIXPCIoE/b.3747269/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=3752513&actionid=12176

Please do this to urge Iran to free innocent US reporter Roxana Saberi. (Saberi was falsely jailed on charges of espionage after a short closed door trial). Thank you.

--------------------------------------

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL EMAIL: "Last Saturday, Iran sentenced journalist Roxana Saberi to eight years in prison on charges of espionage after a brief closed door trial. She had been living in Iran and working as a reporter, although the government claimed it had withdrawn her press credentials.

Major media outlets and even President Obama have called for her release.

With pressure building on the Iranian government, now is the best time for us to send a message demanding that the flaws of the original trial be addressed and for Roxana to be released immediately on bail.

The Iranian government has not released any evidence against Roxana and reports indicate she was pressured into making statements that were used against her in the legal proceedings.

Her harsh prison sentence is yet another example of the increasingly severe crackdown on those exercising their rights to peaceful freedom of expression and association in Iran."
